used to live not far from it and the dam area on the rocks snakes everywhere. Went there bout 2 yrs ago. Some guys told me they saw moccasins there but didnt think they stayed alive in OH. I had a giant water snake go out from my feet there and chase me along the bank. Kept his head out of the water. I used to catch some small bass over by the boat ramps. Lot of 3+ ft huge strain of carp there too.

Fished shore only but caught most on the far side over by the dock area. Nothing more than a lb or so. Ive seen crappie and cats caught at the dam there with minnows. Some flip lay downs there and use frogs over in the swamp area. Careful using hardbaits, few submerged stumps and wood in the water. Only seen the water snakes in the rip rap was in mid summer when it was hot.
